Motherwell
- Motherwell have won two and lost three of their last five Premiership matches.
- Motherwell have won ten of their 15 home games in the league, drawing four and losing just once.
- They have conceded just 6 goals in 15 home league fixtures and their overall shape and ability to retain possession and play with numbers in midfield is proving a challenge for opponents.
- Motherwell snapped a losing streak with a 2-0 home win over Dundee United FC before tasting consecutive away defeats to Dundee FC and Celtic FC.
- They will return to winning form in front of their own fans on Saturday against a team that they have beaten once and drawn once with in their last two head-to-heads.
Hibernian FC
- Hibernian FC have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five in the Premiership 2025/2026.
- The Edinburgh club have won five, drawn five and lost five of their 15 away games in the 2025/2026 season.
- In fact, they have been held to draws in their last two matches - a 3-3 thriller at Dundee FC and 0-0 at Livingston - so this game may not be as open as it looks on paper.
Head-to-Head
The most recent match between these two clubs finished 1-1 at Easter Road, but the average goals scored for Motherwell in their last five home head-to-heads is 1.0 and the visitors average 1.5 away from home.
Key Players
- The Zimbabwean is top scorer for Motherwell with 16 goals in 27 Premiership appearances, while Hibs’ main scoring threat is Kieron Bowie, who has hit nine in 22.
- However, the hosts have the all-round quality to get the job done here with Callum Slattery in particular providing the vision in the last third.
- He has four assists in his last five games while Elijah Just has chipped in with three goals in that sequence, giving Motherwell a timely scoring boost.
Betting Insights
Motherwell to win at 1.84 looks good value in the match result market as the home side have the more solid record overall and better recent form in this fixture.
Prediction
- Motherwell and Hibernian FC will be aware that this is a big game in the context of the Premiership 2025/2026 as both clubs sit in the top six on 53 and 47 points respectively.
- They are very evenly matched on paper and in their recent results, with the Steelmen in slightly worse form of late, but Hibs are prone to the odd setback on the road and this could be the day when they come up short.
